Hi Lacy,

I am sorry to hear about your misfortune. I don't know what size of poles you have, but try a place like Home Depot and look at the long, white tubes ( PVC pipes) they use for the sprinkler system. They sell connectors as well.

We get the Santa Ana winds in California, where everything goes flying. My umbrellas have made the rounds through the yard as well, breaking in certain areas. I have purchased wooden dowels and forced them in between the original pieces that were broken. That works too.

Good luck!
